<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a data processing device which can operate a plurality of processing modules in parallel. <P>SOLUTION: Processes following a processing flow are assigned to the plurality of processing modules (21-a, 21-b, 22-a, 22-b, 23-a, 23-b), respectively, and at least two of the plurality of processing modules can run the same process. A network 15 includes an arbitration circuit 16 that, upon receiving a packet from the processing module, according to a process number attached to the packet, selects a processing module out of the processing modules which can run the process, and outputs the packet to the selected processing module. Thus the packet is autonomously transferred among processing modules and parallel operation of the plurality of processing modules is enabled. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
